Rapoport: Austin Ekeler (hamstring) expected to play for Chargers in Week 1
Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hamstring) is expected to be available for Week 1's game against the Washington Football team.
What It Means:
Ekeler is officially listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, but according to Ian Rapoport, the missed practices on Wednesday and Thursday were "just a precaution" and the team is optimistic about Ekeler's availability. If Ekeler is active, our models expect him to see 12.9 carries and 4.4 receptions against a Washington defense ranked third-best in numberFire's NFL Team Rankings.
Ekeler's Week 1 projection includes 59.1 rushing yards, 35.2 receiving yards, 0.58 touchdowns, and 14.9 FanDuel points. His salary is $6,900 and he is the RB18 in our Week 1 rankings.
